Chapter 861 Preparation for M&A
Even if he made such a big mess, even if he wasted so much energy storage by himself, to be honest, Tang Feng did not give up on the Great Tamu Volcano, and it was really an island that was very likely to be lured by him alone. The confusion is too great.
A managed island is not like a private island, and in every sense of the word, hosting a brand new island is far better than owning a private island.
Private islands are nominally owned by private individuals, but in reality, the real ownership of private islands still belongs to the state, and private islands are subject to too many restrictions by the state, and in many respects, private islands are subject to the control of the state.
The hosting islands are different, and that thing is a real paradise. As long as you can actually host an island, and you can get all the major nations of the world to agree, then your imperial life will truly come.
Although the trust islands nominally belong to the United Nations, the actual control of the islands is in the hands of the island owners. On the managed islands, you can do whatever you want, no one can control you, and you don't need to listen to anyone.
Of course, in order to do this, you must have enough skill and power to make the big powers turn a blind eye to you. As long as you don't challenge the bottom line of those big countries, for example, you have to engage in nuclear and military industry on the islands, and engage in drugs. product, that is, he died by himself.
Therefore, in any way, Tang Feng has enough reasons to continue to "host" the Great Tamu Volcano until it becomes an island that can truly be managed by itself.
And it's not that hard to do that. First of all, with the size of the Great Tamu volcano, it would be easy to form an island large enough at sea level.
Just like the "new island" that appeared near Nishinoshima Island in the Ogasawara Islands, it is a typical volcanic island. Until November 2013, the sea was empty. As a result, due to the eruption of an undersea volcano, in just over a month, a volcanic island with an area of up to 8 hectares was formed.
And how big is the volcano that formed the new island? Compared to the Great Tamu Volcano, that volcano is not even a single hair of the Great Tamu Volcano.
The most important thing is that although the new island has been formed, no one dares to land on the island until now. Because no one knows whether the volcano that formed the new island will continue to erupt, and if you venture to the island, if you catch the eruption, it will be an act of death.
The Great Tamu Volcano is different, after blocking part of the magma passage of the magma sac under the Great Tamu Volcano, the Great Tamu Volcano can be said to have fallen into the hands of Tang Feng, as long as Tang Feng is responsible, Tang Feng is ninety percent sure that he can control the eruption of the Great Tamu Volcano.
Although moving the Great Tamu Volcano is like dancing on the tip of a knife, it is the so-called wealth and danger. Once an island large enough is formed in the heart of the northwest Pacific Ocean by the eruption of the Great Tamu volcano, Tang Feng is sure to be the first to land on that island and thus declare ownership (trusteeship) of that island.
Others don't dare to land on the volcanic island that has just formed, but Tang Feng dare, after all, if an island can really be formed, then it is also formed under Tang Feng's control, so why does Tang Feng not dare to land on the island?
It's just that it takes a long time to form an island that is large enough. At the very least, it will take more than a year. Moreover, during this period, Tang Feng must also control the Great Tamu Volcano, so that the growth rate of the Great Tamu Volcano will not be too fast. Otherwise, once the island is exposed to the sea, let other countries kick the island first, it will be really empty.
Tang Feng thought about it for a long time before deciding to continue to control the eruption of the Great Tamu Volcano, although it would consume some energy reserves, but it was compared to being able to control an island large enough. That energy doesn't matter.
Now that he had decided to do so, there was no need for Tang Feng to stay on Lausara Island any longer. That super rare earth mine has already formed on the seabed in the eastern part of Magava Island, and the next step is the exploration and development work, which does not need Tang Feng to do it himself. Bimish is enough to put these jobs in order.
So. After explaining the matter of the rare earth mine on Magava Island, Tang Feng flew back to China by plane.
If you don't go back, your mother will have to use the "family law".
It's only been a few days since he got married, and Tang Feng ran out, whether it was to be a matchmaker for Du Yun, or to fly to Lausara Island to finish a heartbeat, anyway, Tang Feng just didn't stay home for a few days.
When he got married, Tang Feng also promised Sophia that he would accompany others until the child was born, but in a blink of an eye, the goods threw the original promise to the back of his head. Although the family knows his busyness very well, it is really a bit too much to say that he has not been home to accompany his father, mother, daughter-in-law and children for such a long time.
When she got home, Sophia was happy, the old man glared, and the mother was about to implement family law on someone when she picked up a broomstick, and the family immediately became lively anyway.
Tang Feng rested at home for less than a month, spent time with his family, and then set off again in mid-December and flew directly to the United States.
This time I went out, and the family didn't say anything else, because this dispatch involved the key to the development of Tang's Anglo-American Group in the next few years or even more than ten years, because after entering December, Tang's Anglo-American Group's M&A conditions for Glencore Strata have been fully matured.
It's not an easy thing to swallow in one bite of Glencore Strata, and it's definitely an extremely important business activity for the whole world.
Although the market value of Glencore Strata is not high now, the total assets of this behemoth are still very large, even compared to the peak of a few years ago, the total assets of Glencore Strata are not much now.
At its peak, Glencore Strata's total assets were as high as $76 billion, which is not very large, but if its sales channels and sales are included, if it wants to annex this big guy, the Tang Anglo-American Group will have to pay at least $120 billion or more before it is possible to completely merge this sales king under its command. (What, Glencore is a very strange company, with a market value far outside the top 500, but its sales are ranked tenth in the world, so the money needed to spend a lot of money to acquire Glencore in this book is huge, and please don't spray professionals, just a novel)
After all, Glencore Strata's profitability is no longer good, but where is its sales, more than 200 billion US dollars a year can not be achieved by a random company, this is only the world's top ten companies can have sales.
The most important thing about Glencore Strata is not its assets, but its sales channels, which is what Tang's Anglo-American Group values the most.
In order to avoid unnecessary surprises, Tang Feng had already decided at the beginning of the year that when the actual acquisition of Glencore Strata was realized, he would sit at the headquarters of Tang's Anglo-American Group and personally supervise the merger (to be continued). )
